To provide retirement gratuity under the payment of gratuity act 1972. 4. To provide pension and other additional facilities after retirement just like other govt. employees. 5. Retirement age should be extended at the age of 65 years. As per the Anganwadi workers, they are not getting children feeding bill for last four months. The shop keepers are denying them to provide required articles. Apart that the concerned authority is not giving them some other additional amenities too which they used to get earlier. The Anganwadi Centre workers said that the concerned department is giving them less cost of children edible articles than what is existing in the present market now. So, they face problem to maintain their Anganwadi kitchen. The Anganwadi woman workers have appealed to the concerned higher authority to implement little renovation in the kitchen bill to create a proportional balance between departmental provision and market value.
